DN4 8 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside DN4 (Doncaster). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

Price per square metre in DN4 8

In cash terms the typical DN4 8 home went from £24,200 in 1995 to £157,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 198%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2016; the current median sits about 29% below that. Someone who bought at the 2016 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DN4 8 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+101.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2013 (−37.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.9% | −6.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.1% | −3.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.9% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 42 DN4 8 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 292 sales a year before the financial crisis and 111 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
Reading the DN4 8 market
This is a thin market: 42 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within DN4, this sector trades 15% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What tenants pay around DN4 8
The local authority for DN4 8 is Doncaster, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £689 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £489 a month here against £1,070 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Doncaster
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £157,000 median sold price, £689 a month is £8,268 a year, a gross yield of 5.3%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

The price of an extra bedroom in DN
Real sold prices by size across the DN area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £210,000 | £282,972 (+35%) | £405,000 (+43%) | £520,000 (+28%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
